English translation

Create a mascot character for Skillshop. It's a marketplace where AI skills are bought and sold. We have a 10×10 pixel mark we're using now, but it's too simple to expand into a mascot. No need to continue from it; just create a new one. It needs to be readable from the character that this is a service dealing with AI. Leave out things like robots, circuits, and brains. We'll use it across the whole service, from app icon sizes to banners. Front view, side view, 4 expressions.
